>Revisiting once again the issue of nice text from horrible HTML emails... And here, all this time, I thought that it was just me! I assumed that I had just failed to read the documentation well enough or long enough to work out some appropriate was of causing nmh to properly render the (now prevalent) HTMLized and/or base64 encoded emails of the modern era. I had just sort-of jury-rigged my own very local and very idiosyncratic mechanism for dealing with the problem/issue some years ago, and I have been just trying to struggle along with it for all this time because I just haven't had the time to find a proper fix... which I've always assumed is burred in the documentation someplace. But if there really is no good solution in the case of nmh, then I guess that eventually... and proabbly sooner rather than later... I'm going to have to switch mail clients at long last, although I sure will miss some of the nicer nmh features. Quite simply, all I would wish for would be something that would -properly- convert -both- HTMLized emails -and- "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" emails (like this one I'm responding to) into good old fashioned ascii, at least for purposes of the "show" and "repl" commands. I have my jury-rigged solution working adequately well for the base64 encoding still, but only for the "show" command, which means that I have to do some manual cutting-and-pasting when/if I want to reply to a base64 encoded email. :-( Regards, rfg -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
